CHICAGO 


THE  photo-sketches  which  follow  describe  the  tumultu- 
ous life  of  the  most  cosmopolitan  city  in  the  world. 
Within  the  memory  of  men  yet  living,  this  metropolis  of 
the  Central  States,  now  the  second  largest  city  of  the 
Western  Hemisphere,  was  an  Indian  garrison.  Alladin 
waved  his  lamp  and  presto  !  behold  the  abode  of  2,000,000 
people. 

There  are  three  grand  divisions  of  the  city — viz. :  the 
North,  South  and  West  sides.  These  are  formed  by  the 
windings  of  the  river  from  which  the  town  takes  its  name 
and  which  empties  into  Lake  Michigan  near  the  lower 
western  extremity  of  that  inland  sea. 

Chicago  is  the  greatest  railway  center  in  the  world 
and  has  five  magnificent  Union  depots  and  two  individual 
ones.  Its  arrangements  for  local  transportation  are  upon 
a  like  scale  of  grandeur  and  include  an  elevated  railroad 
system  and  electric  lines  innumerable. 

The  business  interests  of  this  city  of  wonders  embrace 
every  imaginable  branch  of  commerce  and  manufacture. 
As  a  grain,  lumber,  live  stock  and  packing  market  it 
stands  supreme. 

The  names  of  the  hotels  is  legion,  for  they  are  many. 
Some  of  the  leading  ones  are:  Auditorium,  Great  North- 
ern, Palmer  House,  Leland,  Wellington,  Virginia,  Lexing- 


ton, Metropole,  Lakota,  Grace,  Clifton  House,  Atlantic, 
Burke's,  Gault,  Windsor,  Sherman,  Lansing,  Brigg's 
House,  Chicago  Beach,  McCoy's,  Bordeaux,  Brevort,  Im- 
perial, River  House,  Saratoga,  Transit,  Tremont,  Vendome, 
Victoria,  Plaza,  Stamford,  Grand  Central  Station,  Chicago 
View,  Kahn's. 

In  public  halls  and  theatres  Chicago  is  especially  rich. 
Among  the  former  may  be  mentioned  the  Auditorium  and 
Central  Music  Hall ;  and  among  the  latter  Chicago  Opera 
House,  Columbia  Theatre,  Grand  Opera  House,  Hay- 
market,  Hooley's,  McVicker  and  Schiller. 

Some  of  the  largest  and  finest  parks  in  the  world  are 
to  be  found  here.  Indeed,  a  boulevard  system  has  been 
arranged  which  unites  the  three  grand  divisions,  and  at 
the  same  time  provides  a  continuous  park  driveway  or 
promenade  of  unprecedented  beauty  and  extent. 

The  public  spirit  of  the  city  is  one  of  its  characteristic 
features.  Its  provisions  for  education  are  superb  and  its 
University  has  grown  as  phenomenally  as  has  Chicago 
itself.  The  new  Post  Office,  the  Public  Library,  the  Art 
Museums  and  Academies  of  Science  compare  favorably 
with  similar  institutions  anywhere. 

Other  cities  are  children  of  the  past.  Chicago  is  the 
heir  of  the  future. 


THE  CITY  HALL  AND  COOK  COUNTY  COURT  HOUSE 

Are  located  in  a  huge  building  on  the  square  facftlg  Washington,  Clark,  La  Salle  and  Randolph  Straets.     The  cost  of  the  building,  which  was  erected  in  1877  to 

1882,  amounted  to  $6,000,000.     It  is  one  of  the  chief  landmarks  of  the  city. 


THE  ART  INSTITUTE, 

On  Michigan  Avenue  is  a  monumental  structure  built  of  limestone,  which  is  owned  by  the  city  of  Chicago, and  contains  many  classical  and  modern  masterpieces 
cf  fine  art.    The  collections  are  open  to  the  public  free  of  charge  on  Wednesdays  and  Saturdays,  on  Sundays  and  on  legal  holidays. 

Charles  L.  Hutchinson  is  the  President  of  the  Institute.

THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO, 

Established  about  five  years  ago,  bids  fair  to  become  the  leading  institution  of  learning  in  the  West.  It  was  founded  by  John  D.  Rockefeller,  a  New  York  magnate, 
and  has  since  received  ample  donations  from  many  private  sources.  The  endowment  fund  of  the  institution  now  amounts  to  nearly  $12,000.000.  Under  the 
able  guidance  of  William  R.  Harper.  President,  the  leaders  of  the  university  are  perfecting  a  most  thorough  course  of  general  and  special  training.  The 
institution  is  located  on  the  South  side,  between  Fifty-seventh  and  Fifty-ninth  Streets. 


THE  FIRST  REGIMENT  ARMORY,  1.  N.  G., 

Is  one  of  the  most  solid  of  Chicago's  many  stone  structures.    Public   subscription  supplied  the  building;  fund  nearly  $500,000,  and  the  site  is  Michigan  Avenue 
and  Sixteenth  Street.     The  First  Regiment  of  the  Illinois  National  Guard  will  occupy  the  building  for  99  years. 


TilE  CHICAGO  PUBLIC  LIBRARY. 

The  Public  Library  Building,  a  massive  structure  on  Michigan  Avenue  and  Washington  Street,  is  Chicago's  pride,  and  justly  so.  Its  magnificent  inside  finish 
In  marble  and  mother-of-pearls.  rare  stones,  etc.,  is  a  delight  to  the  eye.  In  it  is  housed  the  free  public  library,  with  its  adjuncts  of  reading,  exchange  and 
catalogue  rooms. 


THE  AUDITORIUM   BUILDING. 

The  Auditorium  Building  was  erected  by  Ferdinand  W.  Peck  in  1887-88,  at  a  cost  of  $2,000,000,  and  consists  of  a  magnificent  hotel  establishment  facing 
Michigan  Avenue  and  Congress  Street,  an  office  building  with  entrance  on  Wabash  Avenue,  and  the  Auditorium  assembly  hail,  which  has  a  seating  capacity  of 
7,000.  On  the  opposite  side  of  Congress  Street,  facing  Michigan  Avenue,  there  has  been  erected  the  "Auditorium  Annex,"  an  extension  of  the  hotel.  No  cost 
has  been  spared  to  make  the  Auditorium  one  of  the  most  perfect  buildings  of  its  kind. 


THE  PALMER   HOUSE. 
One  of  Chicago's  leading  hotels,  is  located  on  State  and  Monroe  Streets.     It  was  built  in  1872  at  a  cost  of  $2,000,000.

but  quite  convenien'  from  a  business  point  of  view,  as  they  permit  a  great  deal  cf  business  to  be  transacted  within  a  narrow  space.  The  range  of  the  above  view 
Includes  The  Masonic  Temple,  The  Unity,  The  Abstract.  The  Achilles,  and  The  Ashland  Buildings.

sewerage  through  an  artificial  canal  from  Lake  Michigan  through  Chicago  to  the  nearest  point  on  the  Desplaines  River.  When  completed  it  will  form  an  important 
link  in  the  canal  system  about  the  great  lakes,  facilitating  the  connection  between  the  central  States  and  the  Gulf  of  Mexico,  and  also  be  of  considerable  aid  in 
.improving  the  city's  water  supply.  The  cost  of  the  complete  canal  is  estimated  at  $26,000,000. 


HAYMARKET  SQUARE,

INNEAPOLIS,  St.  Paul's  twin  city, 
lies  ten  miles  further  up  the  river, 
at  the  Falls  of  St.  Anthony.  It  is  the 
largest  and  most  important  place  in 
Minnesota  and  is  also  a  great  railroad 
center.  Its  water  power  is  second  only  to 
Niagara.  In  commercial  and  manufactur- 
ing importance  it  is  renowned.  Here  are 


lumber  and  especially  flour  mills  galore. 

Minneapolis  is  also  one  of  the  chief 
wheat  markets  of  the  world.  The  hotels 
and  public  squares  are  unexcelled,  while 
in  palatial  private  residences  it  ranks 
among  the  foremost  cities. 

The  characteristic  scenes  and  beauties 
of  the  twin  cities  are  well  displayed  in 
this  panorama.

ST.    PAUL. 


OT.  PAUL,  the  Capital  of  Minnesota, 
^  is  situated  on  the  upper  Mississippi 
River  and  has  a  population  approximating 
200,000.  The  surrounding  country  is  re- 
markably picturesque.  "The  Father  of 
Waters "  interlaces  the  landscape  like  a 
silver  ribbon.  Beautiful  lakes  abound. 
Within  the  corporate  limits  lovely  parks 
are  interspersed. 

As  a  railroad  center  the  city  is  noted  ; 
while  its  business  interests  are  now  im- 
portant and  are  constantly  increasing 
Not  only  is  St.  Paul  a  port  of  entry,  but 
it  has  extensive  manufactures,  including 


machinery,  agricultural  implements,  lum- 
ber, printers'  supplies,  foundries,  car  and 
repair  shops,  etc.,  etc.  Here,  too,  are  vast 
stock  yards — the  third  in  extent  in  the 
Republic.  An  extensive  jobbing  trade 
radiates  out  into  the  Northwest.  Large 
quarries  of  fine  limestone  are  in  the  vicin- 
ity. The  educational  facilities  of  St.  Paul 
are  noted  and  it  is  the  seat  of  numerous 
institutions — such  as  Hamline  University 
(Methodist),  Macalester  College  (Presby- 
terian), St.  Thomas  College  (Catholic) 
and  the  State  School  of  Agriculture. 
The  hotels  and  halls  are  numerous.
